As a X1 owner, from a purely selfish standpoint, I love this release. It shows that Bambu isn’t a “one and done” company. It shows that they are interesting in expanding their user base. It shows that they recognize that there are people who don’t have the funds for the X1 series.
And (the selfish part) it’s not a better model than what I have right now so I’m not feeling any buyers remorse about not waiting for something better!
